During the days of the Roman empire it was believed to prevent sea sickness and to cure stomach disorders.According to some legends, it is the treasure of mermaids, with the power to keep sailors safe at sea
Emerald - name comes from the Greek "smaragdos" which means green stone. According to legend, the wearing of emerald not only cured a wide range of ailments, including low I.Q., poor eyesight and infertility, but also enabled the wearer to predict the future.
Sapphire - Ancient priests and sorcerers honored sapphire above all gems, enabling them to interpret oracles & foretell the future. In medieval times, the sapphire was also considered as an antidote against poison, cure bloodshot eyes, plague boils as well as preserve muscle strength.
Topaz - name derived from the Greek word meaning "to shine" and also implies "fire". The Greeks felt it gave them strength & drove away sadness. It supposedly cooled tempers, restored sanity, cured asthma, relieved insomnia and even warded off sudden death.

Superb reading Guys and a befitting future for a much-maligned vessel. HER HISTORY has been checkered and crew members lost, Where is She registered, DNV throws all sorts of wobblers?
